Description
My guest Mike Botkin has recently acquired a landscaping company in Orlando, FL called B&B Landscaping and has finished his first 30 days in the business. One unique aspect of his deal is he raised his equity entirely through Twitter, which we talk about at the end of the episode. Mike and I discuss why he decided to acquire a landscaping business, what he’s learning from the seller and employees as he’s getting adjusted to being the new owner, building trust with employees and customers, and the roll-up potential of other landscaping companies in his area. If you’re about to acquire a company and are curious on what your first few weeks are going to be like in the company, this is an episode you have to listen to.
